Wasn't he a handsome twenty-something? He covered not just the Sino-Japanese War, and the Spanish Civil War, but also the Normandy beach landings, and the Allies' entry into Leipzig. Right place, right time to take a shot. Even to change cameras when shooting the picture of the American soldier downed by a German sniper.

A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2015

Lambda Finalist

"The Singapore-born poet’s first UK publication is disciplined yet adventurous in form, casual in tone and deeply personal in subject matter. Koh’s verse addresses the split inheritance of his postcolonial upbringing, as well as the tension between an émigré’s longing for home and rejection of nostalgia." - Maria Crawford in UK's Financial Times
